"They [Tangentyere Council] had no intention of having a meeting with all the players and it wasn't an honest meeting at all," she said.

"They were trying to pick and choose who went in there."

Ms Anderson said she believes many of those she saw attending the meeting "perpetuate all this nonsense on town camps".

"In the audience, I saw some people there that didn't help my grand-daughter at Abbott's Camp when she got murdered," she said.

Ms Anderson said Tangentyere Council should face more scrutiny from taxpayers, because it receives large amounts of government money.

"There is $7 million of Territory Government money and over $25 million of Federal Government money that goes in there."

Ms Anderson's decision to walk out of the meeting shocked Tangentyere Council CEO Walter Shaw.

"There is disappointment all-round, particularly [from] the town camp presidents....and the executive of Tangentyere Council, who have called on the summit [in] good faith to bring in all government officials," Mr Shaw said.

Mr Shaw said he refused entry to Mr McConnell because the meeting was purely for government officials and town camp residents, rather than service providers.

He rejected Ms Anderson's suggestion Tangentyere wasn't doing enough with its government funding.

"The 16 housing associations...wanted to discuss issues that have historically been culturally sensitive and they've conceded there needs to be a change of culture in dealing with these issues," he said.

Mr Shaw said he will be calling for an official apology from the Chief Minister Terry Mills over Ms Anderson's conduct.

But Terry Mills told 783's Nadine Maloney this morning he was standing by his minister.

For his part, Mr McConnell said he believed the meeting would be open, but acknowledged he had only heard about it through the media.

He said he was not offended by being asked to leave.

"My personal feelings about it are far less important than the terrible things that a happening to families in Alice Springs town camps," he said
